Good Morning Everyone! I hope you are all having a great week so far! It’s been a little crazy for me just getting settled back in and catching up after being in Atlanta with my family last week. It feels good to be home in spite of being behind on so many things (laundry…how can I have so much) but I’m making the most of my time and getting it all done! I’m working on a blog post about my time in Atlanta with Hudson. We were fortunate to be able to spend a night at The Hotel at Avalon and I can’t wait to share it with you. It’s a fabulous hotel surrounded by the most wonderful shops, restaurants and more! The post should be up later today so I hope you’ll check it out! In the meantime, here are a few things that are on my radar right now!

From recipes to videos to fast fashion…here we go!

Traveling In Style with Vera Bradley

I made this video a couple of weeks ago when I received my Iconic Convertible Garment Bag from Vera Bradley! I really love this bag and I wanted to show you all how it works! For more of my favorite Vera Bradley items, check out the Shop My Favorites section on the blog and also this post!

Recipe for Lemon Roasted Chicken

I made this recipe for Lemon Roasted Chicken while I was in Atlanta. It was amazing, delicious comfort food. We ate almost all of the chicken and I used the chicken bones to make a really healthy chicken stock for soup the next night. To make the stock, add the chicken bones to a large soup pot, cover with water, add celery, a carrot or two and an onion if desired. Homemade stock makes your soup so much more healthy and delicious!

How Fast Fashion Affects Your Mental Well-Being

As I mentioned in this post last week, I’ve been meaning to write a post on fast fashion and how it affects the environment. I’m still working on that one, but I ran across this article from Well + Good called Here’s How Buying Into Fast Fashion Affects Our Brains - Not Just Our Budgets. It’s very interesting and a little frightening!

10 Strategies to Be Happier Through Gratitude and The 4 Hour Workweek

I’m sure by now, you’ve all heard of Tim Ferriss from his New York Times Bestseller, The 4 Hour Workweek. I’m always fascinated by Tim Ferriss and love his blog…today, on The Tim Ferriss Show, he interviews A. J. Jacobs on his 10 Strategies to Be Happier Through Gratitude. It’s sooo worth listening to!

Detox For The Holiday Season Ahead

I’ve been a fan of Welleco Super Elixir for some time now. I use it every single morning and even take the travel packs when I’m away from home. It gives me the nutrients I need for the day ahead as well as more energy to get things done! I also use the Welleco Super Elixir Nourishing Protein Powder in a smoothie with almond milk on the days that I work out. Just in time for the holiday party season, Welleco has come up with the 2 Week Party Pre-Party Cleanse. It’s designed to get your body in top shape for all of those cute cocktail dress you’ll want to wear! I’m trying it starting today! Let’s do this one together!

That’s all for today…

It's been a while since I've done a post of favorite things so I thought I would share some things that are making me happy right now!

Winter white and cozy comfy neutrals feel so chic right now...from creamy Trish McEvoy lipstick to a Rebecca Taylor turtleneck sweater paired with white jeans and a Marc Jacobs bag!  You can't go wrong with this combo!

I use Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides powder combined with Welleco Super Elixir, every single morning.  The Collagen Peptides promote better skin, healthier hair and stronger nails and helps to keep my bones and joints healthy.  It is tasteless and can be added to any liquid.  I have noticed a huge difference in my hair and nails since I starting using this product and my problem skin is not perfect, but better.  The Super Elixir is an alkalising greens powder made using cold pressed bio-ive ingredients.  It is the only multivitamin you'll need.  It also contains probiotics to support a healthy gut and digestion for less bloating and a flatter tummy (we all want that).  I love both of these products.

I have three new books that I'm loving right now! 

Cook Beautiful by Athena Calderone is a fabulous cookbook with recipes that are visually stunning as well as delicious.  I made her Rigatoni here. 

Possession Obsession was written by Monica Rich Kosann, who is a talented photographer and jewelry designer (see more below).  In this book, Kossan interviews 65 intriguing people about the possessions they value most and why.

Change Your Home, Change Your LIfe with Color by Moll Anderson is a life changing book.  Anderson about how color can transform not only a room, but you mood, your family and even your well being.  The photographs are stunning and you'll get lost for hours looking at this book!

I discovered Jo Malone Cologne 20 years ago and it has remained my favorite!  My new obsession is the Orange Bitters fragrance!  I like to wear most of them seasonally and I think this is the great for winter!

Trish McEvoy skincare products are my favorites and this limited edition collection has everything you need for better skin.  The triangle of light eye mask pads are my favorite for those morning when my eyes are puffy!

Everyone loves Nate Berkus and the stunning home that he shares with Jeremiah Brent and their adorable daughter Poppy is featured in the December issue of Architectural Digest.  I'm dreaming of a big open kitchen with lots of storage and windows!  

Leopard is a neutral and these two pieces from J. Crew are classics.

I love Monica Rich Kosann jewelry and this year for Christmas my husband surprised me with this Charm Chain necklace that I've been wanting!  It holds 4 charms, so I guess I know what I'm getting for the next 4 occasions and that's just fine with me!
